Maybe you should get an online geography tutor...

India is only about 8000 miles away from Malibu - not 20,000!

So at what point do we say outsourcing has gone too far?

Fairly soon, all facets of the American economy will be handled in India. I suspect though that once we move to outsource our media, politicians, military, and lobbyists to India, then there will be a real movement started to halt the practice.

Very good ...

I like this comment. Unfortunately, I feel only if CEOs are outsourced will we see an end to this.

So they want to prevent us from being beaten by other countries at software? How can we do that if all development is out of the country, as it will be someday, at this rate.

You are right!

It really gets me how it will now take foreign countries to actually teach our children what should be taught here at home. Something seems rather odd about this.

We can only expect to outsource just about everything in this country. That way, only big corporate execs get fat pockets.
